Green Home!

Are you in the habit of backing-up your important data and files? If you aren’t, then you should. Have you ever heard of the term “you won’t miss it until it’s gone”? This is very true in the computer world. I had to learn this the hard way when a couple of years ago, my hard drive on my desktop computer died on me. There was no warning before it happened. It simply died one day. I was already aware of the limitations of hard drives even before it happened but I never took it seriously because I kept thinking it would never happen to me; but it did. I lost a lot that day. All my files were gone in the blink of an eye. Important files such as family pictures, work related stuff, school related stuff, mp3’s (there were a lot of those) and other important files that I don’t even remember were lost forever. In my hopeless attempt to revive my hard drive, I resorted to all sorts of “possible” remedies. I tried freezing the drive, hitting it with a hammer, dropping it, running it upside down, etc. but none of it worked and it left my hard drive in an even worse condition. In the end, I accepted it and moved on.

This unfortunate experience doesn’t have to happen to anyone else if all readers follow this simple advice, “backup or else”. Don’t wait until tomorrow, next week or next month. Don’t come up with lame excuses to delay this. Hard drives are sensitive devices which mean anything can happen anytime. This is most especially true with hard drives in laptops which are subject to frequent vibrations. So if you have a backup drive such as an external hard disk, do it now before it’s too late.
